I don’t know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up. I still see something very romantic in the world that perhaps isn’t there. I suppose I want it to be the place of knights and that kind of stuff. - Daniel Radcliffe

I’ve worked out recently that I don’t do very well without fear. There needs to be a part of me saying, ‘You can’t do that — that’s going to fail,’ for me to prove myself wrong. What I’ve learned, particularly this year, is that all actors — no matter their status or brilliance — still feel like fools. - Daniel Radcliffe
